  1. UPDATE: Got it checked from P*tco Lanka,Narahenpita. This has happened due to a rat attack! A rat has damaged a wire from the reverse cam to the set up. Had to rewire it and then it starts working fine. The cost was only Rs. 2,500/-. They said the SD card is not needed here, only it will need if the main 12V battery is changed and the setup is reset.
  2. Thanks a lot @iRage and @HaeylM... Those information are valuable. Now I can see the big picture here. Let’s see. Will update here once get this done.
  3. Yes, the car is from Japan and it has the original factory fitted system NSZT-Y66T. It has a slot for the micro SD card, which has the navigation system and the software. I got to know normally car sale mudalalis are selling this to car stereo shops. Without the SD card, reverse cam and radio is working. But you cannot go to settings or use other functions. A shop guy said once the 12V main car battery is changed, the reverse cam and other basic functionalities will again stop working. So either you need to buy a SD card or pay some cash around 3,000 bucks to restore the settings with them using (borrowing) their SD card.
  4. @sathyajithj99 - It’s the original factory fitted setup.
  5. I’m using a Toyota C-HR 2017 car with mileage just above 23,000 km. This car I bought from a local car sale as a reconditioned car from a Japan auction around 1 year ago. I got an issue - suddenly reverse camera stopped working. When I put it to the reverse gear, reverse lights are getting on, but the reverse cam video is not coming on the display. Not even the blank screen. There is no any change in the display. (Update: this is the original factory fitted setup). After taking it to a near by car setup shop, all wiring and connections were checked but no issues were there with wiring or connections. The shop technician said it may due to some settings changes. But I did not touch any settings. BTW, he also said he needs the SD Card came with the car. Otherwise he cannot navigate to settings. But I did not get the SD card and extra key when I purchase the car from the car sale as the car sale mudalali told me that they didn’t receive an extra key or SD card for this car and those might have misplaced. The car audio guy said that car sale owners are not giving those to the customers but extra keys and SD cards are selling to these shops. Please provide your advice with below 3 questions. (1) How/ why this reverse cam settings can suddenly be changed even without touching by me? (2) Isn’t there any way to change the settings without a SD card? (3) If above no 2 question is not possible, please let me know a good place to visit nearby Colombo/ Nugegoda area. Thank you in advance for your time and advice...
  6. Since rats came into the picture - any of you have used Liqui Moly Marderspray (attached a pic) to keep away rats? One of my friends told that a car service place recommended this to spray to the engine bay, tires and bottom of the engine bay area once in 14 days to keep rats away. But he didn’t buy it and was using the rat kill cubes. Is using this spray effective? Or are there any risks of this to the engine parts? If anyone has used/ using this please share your experience/ thoughts.
  7. Thanks @iRage I also like it without any additional body kit and unnecessary bells & whistles. No intention of doing any modifications. BTW, anyone can please explain what is the small liver/ switch like thing below the dashboard and steering wheel (left side) of the C-HR? Attached pics. I tried to search and find what’s that in owners manual and on Google but couldn’t. Curios to know what is that and the functionality/ usage of that.
  8. @matroska - YOM is 2017 and mileage just below 18,000 km. It was 6.25 mil when I bought around 3 weeks ago (little bit exceeded my budget).
  9. Thanks @vag2 @iRage - Hope I can use these tyres for another couple of years (~ 20,000 km more as current odo is just around 17,500 km) without a major risk/ issue? BTW, when should I start my full service? Wait till the odo hits 20,000 km (will take slightly more than 2 months)?
  10. Update: Bought the C-HR. Thank you everyone for helping with your advises and opinions. Attached some pics while he is waiting for his number plates to be fixed
  11. Update: Bought the C-HR. Will post some pics in other thread. Thank you everyone for advising and share opinions...
  12. Attached a couple of pics of tyres to see those small cracks.
  13. Thanks @iRage for explanations. Regarding tyre cracks - Those are not visible until you peep near the tyre and carefully observed. Yes they are slightly above the tyre walls - the angeled/ curved edge between the tyre wall and the outside Tyre surface. That area not touching the ground. But those crack like things are merely visible (tiny/ hairline like). I thought it’s due to the tyre is getting old (almost 3 years). (I saw this while when I try to determine the tyre wear out in order to guess the true mileage in case of odometer tampering. Tyre wear out ratio seems to be ok when I compare with my previous car’s tyres. Those also Bridgestone tyres and those were there for around 4 years with 40,000+ km riding. But didn’t experienced that tiny crack like things - may be I did not observe.)
  14. Update: I got the manual verification report from https://jpcenter.ru/ It's tally with the auction sheet given and seems there are no issues except a minor scratch in the body. Car's photos are ok. There is a small comment on comments section, when translate it Google translator shows it as "body kiss", don't know what is that ☺️ (attached that image for just reference marked with red squares). While inspecting the car no doubts were there except, - Bridgstone tyre edges had little hairline fractures like tiny cracks (can be ignored). The sale guy said those are due to the temperature difference in Japan's winter season and here while idle for few weeks - All 4 wheels are alloy wheels and I noticed little bit of dust like rusts on the inner area of alloy wheels. He said that also normal. (I have noticed in this my previous car too, when it idles for few days this little rusty dust is coming and once washed they go away). Hope this also normal.
